It's not that Sister Feng is greedy for money. As the second mistress of Lian in the Rongguo Palace, she is in charge of the housekeeping affairs in the palace. She has never seen any rare things, so she would not be surprised by a golden hairpin. What she is surprised about is how to get the "high-spirited and upright" Daiyu. Learned the ways of the world.
I think it was because he lost his father and was all alone, so his temperament had to change. It was a helpless move, but he was really a pitiful person.
But then I thought about it, dealing with people requires sophistication. This change in temperament is a good thing and is the only way to grow.
Thinking of this, Sister Feng smiled and said: "This gift matches my feelings very well. It can be seen that Lin Yatou is thinking of me as her sister-in-law."
Daiyu smiled and said nothing, not saying that this was what her brother taught her to do. In fact, she knew it in her heart, but she was not willing to do it. Seeing that her brother was interested in it, she did not refuse.
After all, if you don't listen to your brother, you will suffer the consequences.
Baoyu's eyes fell on the girl behind Sister Feng. He saw that she was wearing a half-new home-made red coat and a starched white plain underskirt. She looked shabby and downcast, but her eyes were bright and her teeth were white. Although her cheeks were not painted with makeup, she looked shabby. But her skin is white and greasy, and there is a calm and peaceful aura between her eyebrows and eyes.
At this moment, eight characters appeared in Baoyu's mind: "The lonely cloud comes out of Xiu, and it is elegant and shining."
"Who is this sister?"
Seeing Baoyu looking straight at the girl, everyone couldn't help but chuckle. This second master Bao was always like this. He fell in love with his beautiful daughter when he saw her.
Of course, she just likes a good-looking daughter and nothing else. All sisters can testify to this.
Daiyu took a cup of tea handed over by Zijuan and took a sip. She glanced sideways at Baoyu, slightly pouted her pink lips, but didn't say anything, her heart was as calm as water.
Hey, it’s an old problem.
However, as the person involved, Xing Xiyan noticed that the strange boy was looking at her intently, Tian Ran's beautiful face was slightly unnatural, and a strong sense of disgust surged in her heart.
Let me ask you, in this feudal society where men are dominant and women are defensive, if you meet someone out of friendship, but the other person is completely rude and stares at you like a crazy person, how do you feel?
Bah, you dirty dirty thing. If it weren't for your status, I would beat you to death with a pink fist.
Sister Feng chuckled, her eyes flashed, and she introduced: "This is the eldest madam's niece, Xing Xiyan. She is now living in our house. The eldest madam asked me to make arrangements."
When Baoyu heard that such an elegant and unconventional daughter was going to live in the house, she couldn't help but feel happy. Since Sister Bao, Third Sister and Yun Yatou were gone, the house had become less popular. New guy.
Daiyu and Xing Xiyan came from Suzhou by boat together. The two had little contact with each other. They were not acquaintances, but they were not strangers either. I also admired this girl who was aloof and indifferent, like a crane in the wild clouds. .
Pursing her pink lips, Daiyu looked at Sister Feng with her bright eyes, and asked with a slight smile: "The eldest lady asked you to arrange it, but what good place did you arrange?"
Hearing this, Sister Feng turned her eyes slightly, glanced at the silent Yingchun from the corner of her eye, suddenly covered her forehead and said "Ouch", and said distressedly: "I am also making trouble about this matter, otherwise, let her and Er Yatou It’s better to live next to each other and be a companion.”
The Yingchun jade face who was named was slightly startled. She raised her cheeks and looked at Sister Feng. She blinked her beautiful eyes, then lowered her head and said softly: "Second aunt arranged it."
When Sister Feng heard this, the corners of her moist lips slightly raised. She knew that Yingchun had a dull personality and would not say anything even if she was poked by a needle, so she would definitely not refuse.
Sister Feng does have a headache as to how to arrange Xing Xiyan. Normally, a separate courtyard would be enough. But now that she is living in the mansion, if something goes wrong with Xing Xiyan, she will not be able to reap the benefits.
After all, Mrs.
Yingchun is originally from the Dafang family, and the maids and mothers-in-law around her are also from the Dafang. Even if Xing Xiuyan has conflicts with them, it is still a matter on the Dafang side, and can be reported directly to the eldest wife for handling. Sister Feng, the housekeeper of the second room, has nothing to do with it.
As for the thoughts of Xing Xiyan's client, she just came here to defect and it was enough to have a place to stay. What else did she expect? Who would care about her thoughts.
Besides, if the eldest lady cared about her niece, she would not leave her to her own devices. All she wanted was a reputation.
Hearing this, Daiyu blinked her beautiful eyes, moved to Xing Xiyan, and said in a soft tone: "Sister Xiyan, the second sister loves chess and is a person with a very good personality. When you have free time, you can still Ask each other for advice."
Daiyu felt deeply about living under someone else's roof, so she knew the pain in Xing Xiyan's heart.
Xing Xiuyan sensed Daiyu's kindness, her calm jade face smiled lightly, nodded her head and said "hmm", but didn't say anything else.
Originally, I just wanted to settle down in a corner, and there was nothing else to care about, or in other words, I was not qualified to care about it.
Imperial City, Daming Palace.
In the splendid palace, Shui Rong and the Supreme Emperor were playing chess as usual, as if their "father and son" communication was just about playing chess, and it was like this every time.
The Emperor's eyes were slightly drooped, looking listless, and the corners of his eyes were full of wrinkles, showing the traces of time. He only saw a baby drop, and said softly: "I also heard about your trip to Jiangnan. You did a good job."
Shui Rong chuckled lightly when he heard the words, and understood in his heart what the Emperor meant. He lived in seclusion in the Daming Palace. Why bring up the disaster relief in the south of the Yangtze River? It was just a roundabout question about the "corruption of ink". To be precise, it was about the Zhen family and Jia. Family matters.
After something like this happened, if you thought the Daming Palace would be stable, there may have been several waves of people interceding openly or covertly.
Immediately after leaving behind a son, Shui Rongzhanran said: "Brother Huang and his brother had a chat about embezzling money and providing food relief. The Zhen and Jia families could not escape their sin. Brother Huang was very angry about this, but he thought about the two The family has made great contributions to the country. Jia Zhen was deprived of his title and exiled to a bitter cold land. Zhen Tiren was exiled without causing harm to his relatives. "
Previously when he was in Qianqing Palace, Emperor Yongkang talked to him about the "corruption of ink" case. Although the three divisions had not yet been convicted, anyone with a discerning eye knew that they had been convicted and it was nothing more than going through the process.
Regarding the disposal of the Zhen family and the Jia family, Emperor Yongkang also told him without any secret. Firstly, he expressed his trust in Shuirong, and secondly, he was afraid that he knew that the Supreme Emperor would ask Shuirong about the matter, so he did it intentionally in order to The heart of An Taishang.
As for why Emperor Yongkang didn't tell you personally, it's not because he doesn't believe me, then your favorite little son will never treat you perfunctorily.
They are like "father and son" of enemies, and it is difficult to understand the twist.
Upon hearing this, the Supreme Emperor nodded lightly and immediately concentrated on the game of chess, not caring about anything else.
After a game of chess, the Supreme Emperor was a little tired, so Shuirong paid his respects and left wisely.
Everything was settled, and it was time to return to the palace. I hadn't seen Yuanchun and the others for a while, and I thought to myself that this period of time would be a bit harder for me.
Chapter 343 Third Sister You: Princess, it would be bad if the prince doesn’t like this.
Beijing Prince's Mansion, Ning'an Hall.
Concubine Beijing was sitting on the high platform, her clear and bright eyes were like a pool of clear water, sparkling, and she was listening to Tan Chun talk about Jiangnan with a smile on her face, her charming face was filled with a sweet smile. .
In the hall, sisters Yuanchun, Keqing, Baochai and Youshi were all present, quietly listening to the news about Shuirong.
After a while, Concubine Beijing raised her eyebrows lightly, and said quietly with a hint of complaint in her voice: "This monkey will come out as soon as he wants. It's not good to stay in the capital, and you have to go out to do it."
At first, Shui Rong was "noisy" about going out to lead troops to suppress bandits. During this period, there was a flood. She didn't think about how worried and missing she was as a mother. She really just cared about her own pleasure, so heartless. seed.
Yuan Chun listened to Concubine Beijing's complaint, pursed her pink lips, and then said: "Mother, the prince is on an imperial mission and cannot help himself. He still misses his mother in his heart."
Who in the whole house doesn't know that "a mother is kind and a son is filial", but based on this friendship, he is willing to take the blame?
Concubine Beijing smiled and said nothing when she heard this. She stared at Yuan Chun with admiration in her eyes. She knew that Shuirong was going to do serious things and was not out to make trouble. It was just that he had only been away for half a year. Yes, leaving behind this group of beautiful and beautiful people in the back house, these people will inevitably have some resentment in their hearts.
A deep boudoir resents a woman, this is not groundless, I think of her back then
In view of this, Princess Beijing should not be embarrassed, so that the monkey can come back and save some trouble.
Everything is going well for her family and her family, but she was heartbroken because of the monkey.
Pursing her pink lips, Concubine Beijing raised her charming face and looked at the dimming sky outside the hall, and said softly: "Brother Rong has probably seen the Holy Sage by now. I think he will be back soon, Yuan Chun." , you send someone to see if the food is cold. If it is, order someone to heat it up. Don’t wait until the monkey comes back and can’t even eat the hot food.”
How can I bear to let that sweetheart go hungry?
Yuan Chun understood the words and responded with a smile: "Don't worry, mother, my daughter-in-law has just been reheated. She is just waiting for the prince to come back."
Regarding her husband's care, Yuanchun thought that she was no worse than Princess Beijing, a mother. Not only did she prepare the meals in advance, but she also sent people to take care of the "Furong Pond".
After returning home, there are hot dishes to eat, and then a bath to wash away the "tiredness" on the body. Finally, in the dead of night, there is tenderness and sweetness between the husband and wife.
Concubine Beijing felt satisfied after hearing this. Just when she was about to say something, the voice of a nanny came from outside the courtyard, saying with a bit of surprise: "Concubine, princess, the prince is here."
Hearing these words, the Ning'an Hall suddenly became lively and vivid. Pairs of shining bright eyes looked at the door of the room, with excitement in their brows.
Finally back.
After a while, Shui Rong, who was dressed in rich clothes, stepped on the floor paved with wool carpets in the hall and walked in slowly. Seeing the excited eyes of the daughters in the hall, her heart felt relaxed and the fatigue on her body was swept away. Guang, with a smile on his face, rushed up to Concubine Beijing, who was at the head of the room, and saluted, "My child, please give your mother's regards."
Princess Beijing looked at the tall and handsome young man in front of her with bright eyes, a smile that couldn't be hidden in her eyes, and said with a hint of urgency in her charming voice: "Brother Rong is back, come here and let me take a look. Have you lost weight?"
I heard that Tanchun said that the monkey was taken care of properly, but I didn't see it with my own eyes, so I still felt a little worried, for fear that the monkey would become thin.
When Shui Rong heard this, he couldn't help but feel funny. Wasn't it just that she had been away for half a year, and why did Princess Beijing look so anxious and miss him like this? I really don’t know what to say.
Under the attention of everyone, Shui Rong sat next to Princess Beijing, with the refreshing fragrance of rose lingering in her nose, and said softly: "Mother, the child is fine, you don't have to worry."
This trip looks like Shui Rong is traveling with the emperor, but in fact it is like traveling on vacation, tasting the specialties of the south of the Yangtze River. Even if you don't gain weight, you won't lose weight.
The meat of Zhumen's dogs smells stinky, and there are frozen bones on the road, which is vividly displayed.
Princess Beijing raised her head, stared at Shui Rong with a pair of bright eyes as clear as clear water, her eyebrows were curved, and she said: "You are the only pillar of the palace, how can you do it if you don't be careful."
Yuanchun: "."
Shui Rong didn't take it seriously, and stared at the beauty in front of him. Her skin was better than snow, and her eyes were like a pool of clear water. As she looked around, she had an elegant and noble temperament, which made her heart flutter slightly.
After not seeing each other for half a year, Princess Beijing seems to be more and more radiant. Could it be that this is the so-called distance that brings beauty.
Suppressing the throbbing in his heart, Shui Rong glanced at Yuan Chun, who was hanging his head slightly in the hall, and said with tenderness in his voice: "Yuan Chun, you have worked hard to take care of me during my absence."
When Yuanchun heard the words, a warm current surged through his heart. His starry eyes sparkled with stars, and his voice was as soft as water. He said softly: "This is the duty I should perform. It's not hard work. But the prince is running away, and I'm waiting for you." They all miss the prince."
Shui Rong knew clearly that as the Princess of Beijing, she was in charge of the affairs of the house. Without this power, she would not be complete.
Having said that, those who should be encouraged and praised should still be encouraged and praised.
Don't rush now, you will have a taste of the sweetness of spring, and your eyes turn to look at the graceful figure. The beauty is dressed in pink clothes, and the woman's skin under the lining has a faint pink color, revealing an indescribable feeling. A seductive feeling.
Such a charming and romantic person is naturally worthy of your respect.
His eyes flashed slightly, Shui Rong said softly: "Ke'er, how are you doing lately?"
But when Qing heard this, his eyes turned, and there was a hint of resentment between his brows and eyes, and he murmured in a gentle voice: "Everything is well with me. I miss you, Lord."
In fact, the beauty had been resentful for a long time. Although she knew that the young man was sincere in his feelings, she was obviously the first person to enter the palace. Not only could she not get a seat at the table, she didn't even have a title.
Is it possible that the prince only likes her clever tongue?
Shui Rong stared at Ke Qing, and couldn't help but take a deep breath. The beauty's casual look made people's hearts ripple. It has to be said that Ke Qing is indeed the most charming person. Showing off her daughter's charming charm makes Shui Rong's heart flutter, which she has only tried briefly in recent days.
The sword is sharpened and it's time to drink blood.
After taking a gentle breath, Shui Rong's eyes turned to Baochai, who had downcast eyebrows, and said warmly: "Bao girl, Qianli, is there anything else you don't feel comfortable with in the palace?"
Anyway, Baochai's presence in Ning'an Hall is very low, presumably because of her foolish and clumsy temperament. As a person who doesn't even have a name, how can she express herself.
When Baochai heard this, she felt a little happy. After the prince entered the hall, he started to look up at the young man and started to behave honestly. Now the prince finally remembered him.
Pursing her pink lips, Baochai raised her plump face, stared at the young man, and said softly: "The concubine, eldest sister, and sister Qin treat me very well. There is nothing uncomfortable with me."
Although she has no title yet, it will happen sooner or later. The concubine loves her family very much and treats her very well. The princess is her cousin, so they get along relatively well with her.
Shui Rong nodded lightly, but didn't say anything else. He looked around and said, "Speaking of which, where did Yun Yatou go? Why didn't she come to pick up my brother?"
Xiangyun has a lively temperament. Logically speaking, she would have jumped out of the situation like this. I didn't see her now, so she felt a little uncomfortable.
Hearing this, Princess Beijing slightly pursed her pink lips, her charming face seemed a little dissatisfied, and said sadly: "Girl Yun has gone home, and she won't be back until two days later."
Upon hearing this, Shui Rong understood clearly that although Xiangyun was the goddaughter of Concubine Beijing, she was still a member of the Shi family, and that was the family. She could not live in the palace forever.
Yuanchun knew that Concubine Beijing liked Xiangyun very much, and she was closer than her own daughter. When Xiangyun was taken back to Shi's family, Concubine Beijing still had a straight face for several days.
